The frozen treats here are so good! The little ones and I stopped by on a super hot day to have some yummy treats. This looks like a pretty standard ice cream shop... there is a freezer with lots of ice cream and popsicle flavors. There is a random kiosk type area in the corner with a gentleman selling phone accessories, but he was super nice, even pointing out where the flavor menus were when I overcooked them. It also connects to the bakery next store, but we didn't have a chance to go in this time. The place is a bit loud when it gets crowded, so we kind of had to yell to the lady dishing up the ice cream. After we got our ice creams all paid for, we had a seat to eat. There are only a small handful of tables and a few chairs, but we were able to snag one. The coffee paleta had almond and chocolate and was soooooo good! It was creamy and flavorful and I loved the crunchy almonds. My kids both loved their treats too. All three treats came to $10, which is great, especially compared to some other local places. We generally spend around $24 at the local frozen yogurt place, so this was a steal. We will be back VERY soon. read more

This is our go-to place for ice cream. Lots of traditional flavors while also opportunities to try something different. Service is quick and friendly and the portions and cost are fantastic! read more

Delicious ! Friendly service. They prefer cash. Not alot of seating for the many customers that come in.

Truly so nostalgic for me! As a Mexican-American myself this is the closet you can get to authentic Mexican ice cream and treats without leaving Richmond! My favorite flavors are Gansito and Mamey. The store has never disappointed me throughout the many times I have visited throughout the years. I make sure to always recommend this place to all my family and friends! read more

The Ice cream was delicious. All the items that we purchased were very fresh. The server was very professional kind and caring. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

*First time experience at La Michoacana* This was my first time being introduced to La Michoacana, not knowing what to expect inside! This store just looks like another ice cream bar inside, but has the most unique variety of ice cream and sherbet. I'd say there are about 30 different flavors, excluding the fresh popsicles! Some of the ice cream flavors are also boozy and require ID to taste. They have all of the traditional flavors you would find at another ice cream stop, but other flavors include dried fruits and nut varieties. The servers inside speak spanish and english. read more

This restaurant is a fantastic authentic Mexican restaurant located near Chester, Virginia. Ran by a Mexican family, there are tons of delicious traditional Mexican snacks and desserts that can be bought. There is also a bakery where you can purchase traditional Mexican baked goods. My friends who are Mexican both enjoyed an Esquite (which is essentially an elote in a cup). I enjoyed a delicious Mangonada while my husband had a coconut popsicle. All of this was so refreshing post hike at the James river walkway on a hot sunny day. The service was very quick although the restaurant was very busy. The vibes were also amazing and there was many diverse groups who came to the restaurant. If I'm back in this area I will definitely be returning. read more

La Neveria Michoacana is worth going out of the way for when you're in need of a sweet treat! From fruity and tangy to smooth and creamy, they have a variety of flavors to suit anyone's cravings. The ice cream itself is thick, with a nice pull to it. I particularly enjoy their fruit flavors because they actually taste like the real deal since they are packed with so much fruit. They also serve homemade popsicles and savory snacks. I really enjoy their mangonada, which has their mango ice cream topped with fresh mango and tangy chimoy. You can actually see the mango fibers in the ice cream, the fresh mango on top has always been very ripe, and their chamoy isn't too syrupy or gnawingly sweet. It's downright addicting and the best mangonada I've had! read more

Reaaaaaalllllly good ice cream. Interesting flavors. Hope to try more. I had the mango and chili and blackberry and queso. My mother had the pinion (pine nut. All were amazing. And I'd love to try their tostiloco sometime. read more

La Michoacana - Mango and chili, blackberry and queso - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This isn't the best Michoacána but it's the only one on this side of town. There's one much better in the near west end. The frozen strawberry and cream was ok and the staff people weren't very helpful nor welcoming. I was definitely disappointed. They have a large array of flavors and drinks. Something for everyone if you're willing to try. read more

Hidden gem! I have been looking for places that serve mangonada and elote and this was it. My sister pointed me in the right direction. It is located in a small strip. Their sign was not visible from the road, I could have easily missed it. It was just a white sign that needs replacement. I was immediately greeted upon entering. I told the employee my order and waited for it to be made. I ordered 2 elotes (one in a cup & one cob) and one mangonada. As I waited, I browsed their selection of ice cream and popsicles. Their popsicle selection looked so good, beyond good actually. They were only $2 I believe. I received my order and paid which was about $11+. The elotes were nice and warm. They were so good. The cob was seasoned perfectly. The cup version however seemed to have more of the sauce and not enough of the chili seasoning to add in a little kick. As you eat the cup version, it will tend to get watery from the corn when you get to the bottom. If you want a mess free experience, I suggest getting it in the cup though. Regardless, I liked both a lot! I enjoyed the mangonada, I'm a huge fan of sweet and spicy flavors and it hit the spot. I am already planning my next visit and hoping to explore the bakery next door. read more

La Michoacana - Elotes and mangonada. I promise the cob looked way better, it was rolling around in the box in my car on the way home. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

La Michoacana - Doriloco - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Adjacent to a bakery, ESL but well enough to converse with ease. About 15 different ice cream flavors. Cup. Bowl. Cone. We tried to order something that was playing on the advertisement screen but she said they didn't make it. It seems that they offer good too but when we ordered elote, they didn't have that either. read more

Went with a group of 6 adults yesterday to kick off my husband's 40th birthday celebration. The ladies behind the counter were very accommodating and gave us more than enough samples. The ice cream was fabulous! Maybe next time I'll try a popsicle. we didn't bring the kids this time, but they'll be coming next time, too! read more

Ok, brand new experience here. Not your grocery store or average packaged popsicles. These are frozen solid and full of flavor. We just bought pops this time but I'm going back for more...and to try the ice cream. The different flavors are to say the least interesting. The banana splits I saw made for some other customers looked so good...and were huge! The prices are fair, the portions and flavors are huge! read more

This is a great shop! We stopped in for ice cream while visiting the area and I'd definitely go out of my way to go back. The options and selection are incredible, so many delicious flavors to choose from! The ones we ended up picking were amazing, smooth and creamy. And the portion is substantial, especially considering how reasonably priced it was. read more

Solo hablo un poco español y ellos son muy simpático. I got the strawberry cream and it was the best dessert I've had in a while! They take cash and card (exact change is requested). Super busy when we went and understandably so, it's a great place! read more

La Michoacana - an ice cream sundae with strawberries and whipped cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We drove from Chesterfield to get their delicious ice cream. But, they would not wait on us and we're only serving Latinos. They took customers that came in long after us and refused to give us eye contact. We were very disappointed. We waited approximately 15 minutes and gave up and left. read more

The ice cream is pretty good and they have other desserts to choose from which I really like. I've tried their arroz con leche which was pretty good. I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't been to try it. read more

I don't usually use profanityBut, these are the best f@*king paletas I've ever had!!!! And I came in from Cali, lol. Love it!!!

Having moved from California to Virginia, finding and an authentic paleteria is next to impossible...so much so that I began googling homemade recipes to appease my paleta fix. However, to top it off they bake fresh pan every morning. I was told the nearest panadería was somewhere in South Carolina. Since moving out here I taught myself to make my own concha pan dulce, BUT there's nothing like having a variety of authentic pan dulce!! I would suggest using Google translate as the owners/operators speak very little english. Esta es la mejor pandaria / paleteria que soy consciente de en Virginia! ¡¡¡Excelente!!! read more

This place is hidden off Willis road. But finding it has been so nice. We go in groups and they have always been very nice to us. We have not tried all the flavors or pops but wow so so many. And reasonable. The prices are so cheap you can take a car load of kids and just sugar them up for under 20$. Im not brave enough to try some of the other drinks and options. They were making some really cool versions of nachos. Give em a try. Seriously a huge 2 scoop cone is like 3 bucks. The bakery next door has lots of items too and they are very friendly. read more

Amazing. First off it is hard to find. They are in a small strip center, no sign. Inside the ice cream store is attached to a bakery. A few seats to sit in and enjoy your ice cream. All appear to be made in house. Fantastic selection of ice cream at very reasonable prices. I got 2 cups with two scoops each. Paid about $8. You can not go wrong here. Most of the people working and customers were ESL speakers but were super nice to me while I tried to figure out what all the flavors were. If your Spanish is bad it doesn't matter, it's all good. Just point at something and enjoy. I will return for more. read more

I first stumbled upon this place a couple of weeks ago, and I can't stop going back. They have a couple different locations in the area, and all of them have an astounding selection. This one has about 40 different flavors of scoop ice cream with flavors as diverse as guanaba, rum raisin, coca cola, espresso, tequila, and tamarind. They also have probably 30 varieties of popsicles with an equally impressive range. I've tried pinenut (a favorite), coffee, yogurt with fruit, cookies and cream, and sweet chili mango (not for the faint of heart). Best of all everything is made from scratch there using real ingredients and no preservatives. This ice cream is as fresh as it comes! With popsicles "paletas" just $2 per pop and scoops similarly priced you'll be addicted! read more

This little hole in the wall paleteria bakery/icecream shop is amazing!! Selling many latino delicacies such as mexican street corn or elote corn, multiple flavors or fresh homemade icecream, popsicles, and even snacks. You don't have to be latino to enjoy this amazing shop. The fresh mango with mango/tamarind and chile pepper icecream is my go to!! Definitely check this place out you won't be disappointed. And even better the bakery is right next door! read more

This place is a real gem!!! I should have written this review a while ago! But it took me eating their ice cream at Tres Machos for twice the price to finally write it!! Smh! They have the most amazing home made ice cream! Totally out of the box flavors and soooo good!!! The popsicles here are the best pieces of ice on a stick I've ever had and such amazing flavors too! Their Strawberry, Mango & chili & Tamarind popsicles are my absolute favorite! The oreo has actual oreos embedded in the popsicle!!!! Their ice cream and creamy & delicious! Definitely try the Tequila, Kahlua & Gansito here!! Ice cream lovers.. Please head here asap!!! read more

La Michoacana - The popsicles here are amazing!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Ice cream was delicious. The staff spoke Spanish; therefore, I'm not able to say the name of my ice cream...Hahahhaha! But it was GREAT! It was a mixture between cheese cake & cherries. Kids & hubby sampled so many flavor a just to stick with the staples- choc, strawberry & pistachio. We ate are in & it seemed to get crowded really quick. read more

I love their ice cream. I wish we lived closer, but we are in NY. Sigh!

HURRY HERE! I can not describe to you how happy I am that I found this amazing place! There are tons of different homemade creamy and non creamy popsicles or Palletas as the spanish call them (forgive my spelling if wrong). Some flavors are coconut, papaya, mango, chili, pistachio, vanilla, yogurt and fruits, caramel, cookies and cream, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and it goes on and on and on!! I was like a kid in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory in absolute wonder and amazement and then gratitude for the wonderful people who put so much love into these gorgeous ice cream novelties. I got 4 yes 4 because I could not decide and I do not live near here so I needed to get some to try, and I only wish I had time to eat MORE! They are made so well, no freezer burn, fresh fresh and did I say FRESH the pistachios were so delicious and what I liked the most is that these bars are sturdy and easy to eat while you drive (just saying) and they are NOT sickening sweet, they are just pleasantly sweet and majorly appealing. Do not walk RUN and get these I mean they are THAT good. Get me some while you are there!!! I will take one of each! Do not ever let this place close they have a gift. read more

Great ice cream shop with an extensive range of flavors. The ice cream is of very high quality and is right up there with RVA's other ice cream gem Galati Celeste. It has the air of a family owned business and there is a mini cell phone kiosk in the rear corner. But the ice is absolutely top rate. Only bummer is no shakes. read more

La mangonada & the corn ice cream is really good! Any other flavor I've tried was good too. But those up there is what I ordered. First time there last week! And going there today again! Might as well use Yelp and leave my review! It's not pricey! There are a lot of different choices to choose from! It's not just ice cream to choose from! I'd recommend this place to anyone! If you are using card, you need to make at least a $5 purchase! So bring cash if you are going to pay less than $5! Other than that, employees there are great and really nice! My mom has braces and she wanted corn on a cob, but she asked if they could put it in a cup and cut it for her and they did! Not many places will do that for you. Other than that, nothing bad to say about this place. Just good things! read more

The greatest place in Virginia. This place is a home away from home. The elotes are perfect and the mangonadas are amazing!

Cute little ice cream place with many delicious flavors. Were able to try a couple different flavors before ordering. Service was great and friendly. Also great cheap prices read more

This is the best Oreo ice cream I've ever had, it had like cinnamon and few other flavors in it that fleshed out the icecream into a complex combination of sweetness and depth. read more

Little place filled with tons of flavours. Really enjoyed that I could mix and match my scoops. The amount of favours amazed me, some a very interesting twist of cherry and cheese available. Even their Popsicles variety is huge. Service was fast and polite. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Yummy, exotic and friendly. Stopped here for an after dinner treat. Butter and jelly Flavor was a favorite with the teen, I liked Kaluha and key lime pie. In fact, We sampled a ton and the only one I didn't like was chili! read more

I had the nuez (pecan) & the cajeta (caramel milk) flavors. Their ice cream is so yummy!!

Damn fine ice cream. I honestly can't recall having better ice cream anywhere in the greater Richmond area.

Great prices. Not your traditional ice cream parlor, but if you are adventurous it is a must do. We were able to sample quite a few different flavors before getting the rum raisin. It was delicious and the young man behind the counter was friendly and polite!!! read more

This place is amazing! Real home made ice cream in tons on flavors and it is not expensive. try the tiger's tail (cola de tigre) it is vanilla chocolate and walnut but there's something you just can't put your finger on....my fave! read more
